jcsm has also given you some great advice. At some point you will need to verify all the "possible" relatives. This is a sure way of doing it! I recently realized the importance of having documents...very important in any research. Thanks Nonna..

Oh..and thanks for the other info...will keep you posted on my findings. Will be contacting you for a few other things.[/quote]

Hi Nuccia,
"Giving advice is easy, following it is the hard part!'" .....Thanks for the kinda words. And it was my pleasure to be able to help you.....I'll be waiting for those updates & more.

I know that there is family still in Contursi. Is there any service that will translate a personal letter for me? Or is there a way of checking if there are email addresses for them? The two names I know are Antonio and Mario Briscione. I believe they both still reside in Contursi.

Thanks for all the great information I have received so far.

I could't understand why I couldn't find Josephine's manifest at the Ellis Island web site, but now I know that she arrived in Boston. Are there any other ports of entry that I can research?

I have been searching the Ellis Island records and found a few possibilites.
There are 2 Gabriele Brisciones (father and son) of Union Hill NY. Can anyone help with census info?
Also there is a Giusippa Brusciome? who entered in 1894, but when I try to get the ship's record, it shows up as a blank.

This is very interesting because it is the oldest record i have seen so far. Please do send me the link. Names are probably Vespucci and Romeo or Amedeo. Why can't I find any record of children of Gabriel or Vespucci?
Thank you so much for the help

There's another Gabriel somewhere (manifest) but travelled at the age of 91? Did you see that one?? Born 1814... something like that!

Angelo emigrated in 1910 at the age of 30. Vespucci must be a cousin because the timeline doesn't seem right for a brother. I need to find out if
Gabriel was from Contursi. It seems like Gabriele went back and forth a lot. Perhps he was the first to come to the states.
